Antonin Kinsky may still be trying to find his feet at Tottenham Hotspur, but according to someone close to the goalkeeper, he would have set his sights much higher.
Antonin Kinsky has fit like a glove at Tottenham
One can understand why Tottenham were so keen to get Kinsky on board early in the window, with the 21-year-old goalkeeper being a natural fit for Ange Postecoglou‘s system.
The youngster has displayed tremendous confidence and composure on the ball, and appears to be the sort of character who relishes the big stage.
Kinsky looks destined for big things, and an interesting revelation has now been made by someone close to the Tottenham man.
Kinsky backed to make Real Madrid move
The Spurs newcomer’s former teammate, Viktor Budinsky, has now lavished praise on the 21-year-old and expects him to reach even greater heights.
Kinsky was competing with Budinsky for the number one spot during his loan spell at Czech side FK Pardubice last season, and the experienced goalkeeper believes that the youngster is destined to end up at the Santiago Bernabeu one day.
The Pardubice man told MF DNES (as relayed by Sport Witness) about the Czech Under-21 international: “Great boy. Already at the first training session, it was clear that he was different. Strong in the head, healthy confident and purposeful. He can be even higher in three years.
When asked where Kinsky will end up, Budinsky responded: “At Real Madrid. Plus, he is learning Spanish, he’ll be ready, he won’t get lost there.
“When Tonda [Kinský] came to us in Pardubice from Vyskov [was on loan], who were playing in the second league, many would not have said that he would be in the Premier League within two years.
“And yet. I think Tottenham is an intermediate step for him, that an even bigger club is waiting for him.”
Kinsky will keep Guglielmo Vicario on his toes
While we have only seen Kinsky for two matches, it is already evident that he is a confident personality who has plenty of self-belief.
The 21-year-old is certainly not someone who will settle for being Vicario‘s backup, with the former Slavia Prague man likely to go toe-to-toe with his experienced teammate for the number one spot.
That will keep Vicario on his toes and the Italian is not the sort of character to shy away from a challenge either.
